Hyderabad: Telugu cineworkers staged protest on Sunday and demanded to hike wage. A large number of workers gathered there, raising slogans in support of their demand. Workers belonging to all 24 unions participated in the protest.
Leaders of the Federation, which represents all the unions, threatened to completely halt the film shoots if the talks with the producers failed to yield any positive results.
Federation is willing to reconsider the original demand of a 30 per cent wage hike. The leaders, however, made it clear that a wage hike for some unions while leaving out others was unacceptable to them.
